I’m wondering if there is a simple way to create a 1 pt. border on my transparent background. I want this as a "cutting guide", but my "inside edit/stroke" is not working on the transparent b/g.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You could just add a solid layer, add a stroke style and adjust the source blending…

Or just pull the fill slider (not opacity) on the layers panel to 0. This works for all effects.

On a blank layer:

Select > All

Select > Modify > Contract > 1 px

Invert Selection

Edit > Fill with the color of your choice.

It’s a bit old school roundabout, but it works.
